That's a cherished AMPP belief! I'm not budging on that. So, essentially, as we gain the 500 members we also groom a number of potential candidates. Ideally people across the motu. Then, when there's some media interest, we hold the ceremony. Live-streamed, ideally live on TV during the 6pm bulletin. Like Lotto. - Obviously, we concentrate on a single electorate, but advise a party vote as well. Whoever the candidate is, they're obviously going to front the Ads that we create with that Broadcasting Allocation funding. If the party is a hit and we have over 2000 members, then we'll contest two electorates.

I'm a PSA member as well, and they've been coming to all the same protests that I'm coming to, so maybe the unions might support us as a NewLabour.
